Technology papers

These papers must not be vendor specific or sales orientated. Those that are will not be selected. Papers that take an agnostic approach – focusing on technology, its application and convergence with other applications and technologies – with case studies included, will be selected for inclusion where possible.

Training Workshops

Workshops may have multiple presenters from different organisations and you may be asked to work with industry colleagues to deliver a training workshop. Handouts, classroom-style interaction and demonstrations are expected for the workshops and materials should be available for distribution by the organisers in the week prior to the workshop to help participants prepare.

Topics for consideration for workshops include, but are not limited to:

Applications – innovations for business and mission-critical users

Cybersecurity – protecting your critical systems and networks

Next-generation networks – what does the future look like?

Future technologies and their use – from UAVs to wearables

Biometrics – their use in public safety environments for the benefit of all
